Why You Should Spay/Neuter Your Animal

Spay/neuter surgery helps reduce the number of stray and unwanted animals. Through spay/neuter, the SF SPCA has played a major role in decreasing the number of cats and dogs in San Francisco shelters. You can help us reach our goal of ending animal abandonment in San Francisco by spaying/neutering your pet. Even without its contribution to controlling animal overpopulation, there are compelling reasons to embrace spay/neuter.

Improve health—Spaying at an early age prevents diseases of the ovaries and infections of the uterus, which are a major cause of illness in unspayed pets. Neutered dogs have fewer prostate problems and no testicular cancer.

Decrease euthanasia—It is estimated that four million cats and dogs—about one every eight seconds—are euthanized each year in the U.S. Often these animals are the offspring of cherished family pets. In 2010 in California, at least 173,000 dogs and 278,000 cats were euthanized.
